[quote=Anonymous]DD8 has a bedtime of 8:30 on nights she has activities, earlier on nights we are home - usually 8. On the nights she has activities, DH is supposed to handle bedtime. With her being 8, there's not much to handle, just making sure she picks out clothes for the next day and has lights off by 8:30. He absolutely will not enforce any of this, particularly the 8:30 lights off. He usually just goes to another part of the house and doesn't enforce. If he does go into her room, he will either just say "lights off" and walk out and do nothing to make sure it happens... Or he will go in and talk with her or see what she's doing on her iPad or what she's reading and just shoot the sh*t and then it's 9pm or later. Then I have to go in there and say something and everyone thinks I'm the bad guy. She has to get up at 6:30, so I think 8:30 is the latest she needs to be in bed. She's already not a morning person (and I handle mornings), so she's a huge pain to deal with if she doesn't get enough sleep.

How can I get through to my husband that I'm not being rigid, she truly needs that much sleep?[/quote]
